Net10 Nokia 1600 Cell Phone Review

The Net10 Nokia 1600 was one of the only Nokia phones available for Net10.

Update: No longer offered

This phone is no longer offered by Net10. The Nokia 1600 was a good, reliable, basic phone and Net10 had a pretty good offer on a refurbished one where you could get a FREE Nokia phone and 300 minutes for just $30.

Size and Weight

Battery life

The battery life is pretty good. You can talk for up to 5.5 hours at a time. On standby, the phone can last up to 18 days.

Features

Full Color display

The phone has a full color display which is capable of loading screen saver and wallpaper images.

Voicemail etc.

You can access your voicemail. It also has Call waiting and Caller Id so you can decide whether to answer the call waiting.

Ringtones

Includes 28 Polyphonic Ringtones
You can probably find a ringtone you like and is most likely to standout when you’re with a bunch of friends.

Multilingual Menu

The Nokia 1600 is marketed around the world, so it comes with menus in four languages rather than the usual two. You can set the menu to be either English, Spanish, French or Portuguese.

Calendar

There’s a calendar to keep track of your appointments. Net10 is one of the few inexpensive prepaid cell phone services useful enough for professionals.

Phonebook

You can store up to 200 entries – that’s a little on the low side, but if you need to enter more contacts, you can choose from one of the new phones, such as the LG 600g, which allows up to 1000 entries

Why You Should Get One

If all you need is a basic phone and plan to use up about 150 minutes of
calling/text message, then this phone is a great deal. And since
they're cheap, you can afford to treat them a little roughly since it's
so easy to pick up a new one!
